I'm so mad that I've been using my potion slot to scroll to my ashes and torch the last 130 hours. https://t.co/00DIWORlYQ

I've legitimately just had like 6 items in my potion slot that I scroll through every time I use anything.

@IksarHS Shower thought: It's wild that people accept the total lack of tutorials for systems in this game. The tutorial cave, the whetstone knife, the pouch thing, how to use emotes. The amount of respect for the franchise is insane - other releases would've suffered from this already.

@tharid @IksarHS There was a tutorial for all of that during the initial zone. People just don’t pay attention, they teach you how to use the pouch in the first 30 mins of the game…

@Gambito_HS @tharid I mean, I do feel dumb. That said, tutorials that players regularly don't read aren't effective tutorials. No game designer would blame a player for not reading their tutorial, making it interesting is part of the job.

@Gambito_HS @tharid There is no chance that FROM designers don't already understand this. I'd guess they are aware of players missing tutorials like this and are totally fine with it. They'd rather keep it optional rather than shove UI in your face, even if that means you don't learn some things.
